Thank you for sharing all of these with us bud. Nothin like a good car show We did have a great day. Surprisingly we had many people come and talk to us about our car. It's just a daily driver B, nothing special. We talked to many people and saw many cars! The weather was great also. |

The Sunbeam Tiger. Its the V-8 version of the Sunbeam Alpine. Carroll Shelby helped designed it and wanted to do the conversions at his shop but Roots, the parent company of Sunbeam decided to use Jensen to do the work. The Tiger is a desired roadster amongst British car enthusiasts. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunbeam_TigerThis is a Sunbeam Alpine. The straight 4 version the Tiger was based on.  Oddly enough, the Alpine is the first car James bond drives in the movies. Making it the first "Bond" car. |

Wow! That was quite the rally/show! Lots of eye candy there to admire! My dad had a few MG roadsters when I was a little boy, so those always have a special place in my mind and heart. Reminders of once upon a time...

Until I got my MG and joined a few clubs I never knew they were going on.
In the north east we have 2 big shows, This one, The "Show of Dreams" put on by the British Car's of New Hampshire and the "British Invasion" in Vermont in the fall.
I started going to the local Cars N Coffee's, met some other British car folks, and found a few clubs.
Here in the US the local car culture is heavily based on US muscle car and German cars, Nothing at all
wrong with that. But there are always a few Brit's there. They will know the local clubs.
Where are you located? I might be able to find a club close by.
Yesterday I went to a Cars N Coffee at a New Hampshire car collectors house. AMAZING cars! And an excuse to drive over 200 miles!
